Dead Cert

The victory was hollow for Alan. He had been running a close second behind his good friend Bill Davidson when Bill's horse unexpectedly jerked as he soared over the steeplechase fence. Now, Bill was dead from his injuries, and Alan knew it wasn't an accident. A small, menacing thread of wire dangled from the top of the fence -- a carefully constructed plot of malice. Curious, Alan begins an investigation that points to corruption that transcends the racing circuit -- seeping into the town surrounding the track. Soon he discovers that knowing too much can be as deadly as not knowing what's over the next fence.
